Good job. Thought of microloading the weights, so you can increase weight and still handle all of the cleans?

Think of what I'm doing at thispoint in this program as I have described the adaption phase for fullbody work. I need to give my body a chance to get used to performing full cleans on a consisant basis.

The additionall weight, and my 6' standard bar are both here in Atlanta with me now. This gives me over 200lbs of weight to utilize. I still won't go much heavier anytime soon. I need to give my back the time to adjust to this program.

If I were using squat stands my weights would be heavier already for the squats.

Wednesdays are the one day a week were I might change the program a little.

Performing only full cleans, or some high pulls, along with some iso arm work.
I'm in no rush to do this though, as I feel fully worked with what I'm doing.

Each set that is performed is started by lifting the weight from the floor. This is accomplished by performing a full Olympic clean to get the weight up, then for back squats, and BHNP the weight is also pressout overhead before being lowered into position on my shoulders. I could also deadlift the weight, and then hang clean the bar into position.
